Yeah! Chuck Norris counted to infinity. Twice. :D If you add the M42 lens then you should also add the Pentacon Six and Pentax 67 and 645 lens too. There are adapters for 645 made by Pentax, and Pentacon Six lenses are very common to be mounted on any 35mm cam. .t There are an infinite number

Hi everybody, as mentioned in the subject, i need your help :-) I'm in the process of building a website that will hold a database with all lenses usable on Pentax bodies (with preference for the digital ones). I know, there is Bojidar Dimitrov's excellent k-mount web page (and some others),

I would think it best to restrict something like this to lenses that can be used without an adapter. It might be worthwhile to include m42 Pentax lenses, but I would draw the line there. BTW, although you can fit a Leica 39mm screwmount lens to a Pentax with adapters, it won't focus anywhere

Hi P.J., I didn't make myself clear enough it seems (sorry, english is not my native tongue, but i'll try my best). The point is not to have a *complete* list of lenses that in theory can be somehow attached to a pentax body, who would want that anyway? maybe such a list would be historical
